Their debut recording This is (violence) The Fighting League was recorded with the assistance of band From the South in a makeshift studio in the suburb of Downer. Songs include the infectious “Lets Go Dancing”, anthemic “Crystal Night” and “See Your Face”, raw punk “She takes Medicine” and ballad “Jesus”. Known for putting on unforgettably energetic shows, seeing them live is a must.

Dominic Death »
Dominic Shanahan, best known as the charismatic lead singer of The Fighting League, has launched his solo side project/alter ego Dominic Death. Foregoing the bells and whistles of a full band, Dominic Death creates introspective ballads that come across as a kind of folk-punk somewhere between Billy Bragg and Elvis Costello. “River of Gold” proves that Dominic can howl with the best of them.

Richie Dick Nixon, man behind the synth in The Fighting League has been living and studying in the US for the last six months. He has also been recording for the project Ghost Patrol and I got a copy of his new EP a few weeks ago. Its a nice combination of synth heavy trip hop, blending elements of 90s electronica and abstract noise. Solid debut.
